Obedient BoyfriendAfter Devi dropped the call, Hugo immediately frowned, and in his deep thought.Agad niyang naisip si Cody. He instantly dialed Cody's phone number.Hugo 101% trust Devi. But, he thinks, there is something wrong.Devi said she trusted him which is why she did not open the topic about her past to him. She thought he would not question or judge her kung may nalaman man siya sa nakaraan nito."Hi Boss, wazzup." Cody immediately accepted his call."Cody,""Yes, boss Hugo? Do you miss me, boss?""Nonsense!""Ouch...""Did you remember when I told you to investigate, Devi... but I let it stop?""Oo, boss.""Resume the investigation. I need to know everything about her past." Hugo's commanding tone was heard.He wants to resume it not because he didn't trust Devi. Kundi, gusto niyang malaman ang lahat ng nakaraan nito. He knew Devi would open up later. But he was eager to know something. Dahil hindi matutuliro si Devi kung wala siyang naaalala.Cody sighed. "Boss... Um, whe
Gypsophila PaniculataHugo finished his lunch, and then he opened the file Cody had sent him.Hugo's face darkened instantly while reading the reports. Isa isa rin niyang tinitigan ang mga close-up photo ni Devi habang nagdurugo ang bibig nito at may luha sa gilid ng mata. At that time, Devi looked like a very innocent woman and very pitiful in the photo taken 7 years ago.Hugo's heart ached for Devi at the picture. He caressed Devi's face on the screen.Dahil gusto niyang malaman at makita ang actual na pangyayari, binuksan na agad ni Hugo ang completed CCTV footage. Simula sa umpisa at hanggang sa dulo ay hindi maipinta ang expression na lumukob sa buong mukha ni Hugo. Kung pwede lang pumasok siya sa loob ng video ay ginawa na ni Hugo maproteksyonan lang niya ito sa masamang lalaki na nambaboy sa inosenteng si Devi. Kitang-kita rin niya ang kutsilyong nakatutok sa leeg ni Devi. His heart ached again and again when Devi silently cried. He also saw how scared she was. Ibang iba sa kasa
Simple Sweet DinnerHugo frowned. Nagtataka siya kung bakit biglang nanigas ang katawan ni Devi. Inilapag niya ang bulaklak sa mesa at iniharap niya ito."Are you okay?""A-anong nalaman mo t-tungkol sa akin?" Devi was stammering."Everything. About 7 years ago..." Hugo said seriously.Napatingala si Devi habang nakatingin sa seryosong mga mata ni Hugo. "S-so...""Shush. It's fine. I won't judge you. I told you, I trust you, right? Here, accept it." Hugo said and then reached for the bouquet of Baby's Breath Flower.Bumaba ang tingin ni Devi sa bulaklak. So, baby's breath, iyon ang tugon nito sa nakaraan niya."Don't you want it?" tanong ni Hugo ng tinitigan lang ni Devi ang bulaklak.Unti-unting tinanggap ni Devi ang bulaklak. Her eyes watered as her heart throbbed, but she was not crying. Pilit niyang pinipigilan ang kanyang sarili na umiyak.Tumingala muli siya kay Hugo. She smiles a bit. "Thank you," she said.Hugo's hand moves and caresses Devi's cheek. His eyes are not leaving De
Three DaysAfter dinner, niligpit na agad ni Devi ang mga pinagkakainan nila. Hugo also helped Devi."I already informed my driver to bring me some clothes here. Paparating na siya. Open the door and get my clothes, honey. Ako na ang bahalang magligpit dito lahat " Hugo said.Devi frowned. "Sure?""Yup."Hindi na tumugon si Devi ng may nag doorbell na sa labas ng pinto ng bahay niya. Binuksan agad niya iyon nang ang driver na si Berting iyon.Inakyat ng driver ang bagahe ni Hugo sa silid na tinuro ni Devi, at saka ito muling umalis."Let me finish that, your luggage is upstairs. You go wash up and change clothes." wika ni Devi matapos niyang tumabi sa lababo.Hugo slowly pushed her using his body at the side counter. "Let me finish it.""Okay." then Devi stood up at the side counter while looking at Hugo washed the dishes.Ilang sandali ay tumikhim si Devi. "Seven years ago," Hugo cast Devi a sidelong glance. "The night before my debut banquet. Isang gabi na hindi ko inaasahang mangyar
Obedient GirlfriendAfter two days. Bumalik na nga si Alice, ang assistant ni Devi. But, Alice seems different at first impression.May napapansin lang si Devi sa galaw at kilos ng kanyang assistant. Hindi na ito talak ng talak, tanong ng tanong, reklamo ng reklamo. At minsan tahimik lang ito at seryoso. O naninibago lang talaga siya dahil pagod ito mula sa layo na ibinyahe.Napagdesisyunan ni Devi na patirahin si Alice sa Cityscape Apartment, but Alice refused her. Alam naman nitong magtatagal sila sa Kana City dahil for sure hindi papayag si Hugo na umalis ng bansa si Devi."Boss, I know, magiging residential mo na ulit ang lugar na ito dahil nandito ang Prince Charming mo. That is why, naghanap na agad ako ng sariling apartment ko. I will accept your invitation to stay here, but it's only for today. Ngayon ko rin pupuntahan ang nahanap ko ng apartment. At ngayon din ako lilipat sa bagong bahay na 'yon.""You don't want to live here in my apartment? It's only free. Malapit ka pa sa a
Black CarAfter Devi settled her assistant in her new apartment not far away from her location, she immediately bid goodbye to her."Boss, napapaghalata na kita, huh. Hindi pa tayo halos naka-tatlong oras na magkasama sa unang araw ng pagbabalik ko, ngayon ay nagmamadali ka na agad sa pagalis. Didn't you miss me, boss?" Alice said to Devi when she bid her goodbye.Devi raised her eyebrows. "Did you still need me here?""Not really. Pero, bakit ka ba nagmamadaling umalis? Gusto ko sana munang may kasama ako rito kahit mga 1-hour lang. Just to familiarize the whole fabulous apartment." Alice said while her eyes wandering the whole place."Ugh, gusto mo may kasama?" Devi said nodding her head."Yup, please?" at inilapat pa ni Alice ang dalawang palad habang nakatingin kay Devi."Oh, I'm sorry. May lakad pa ako ngayon. I can't accompany you here.""Is it important?" tanong ni Alice kay Devi."Yes." Devi response."Do you need company? Sasamahan kita, boss.""No need. I need to go alone.""
Devi's Driving Skills"M-Ma'am—""Move out!" Devi shouted at Cody. Hinawakan pa niya ito sa kwelyo at sapilitan pinaalis sa driver's seat.Walang nagawa si Cody kundi ang sapilitang umalis sa driver's seat at gumilid sa passenger seat.Cody was lost in words ng halos siya ibalibag ni Devi na para ba siyang isang magaan na bagay lang. Devi instantly jumped and settled on the driver's seat very quickly. Her moves are very quick and smooth which makes Cody to shocked."Fasten your seatbelt and sit tight." Devi seriously said while driving the car and fastening her seatbelt.Natulala si Cody dahil hindi niya akalain na parang isang pusa lang si Devi kung makatalon at makaupo sa driver's seat."Do you hear me, Cody?!""Y-Yes, Ma'am." Cody gulped and nodded. Agad niyang isinuot ang seatbelt niya."Alright, don't panic. Everything will be fine." Devi said and moved the car very quickly with a very high speed."M-Ma'am Devi..." biglang natakot at kinabahan si Cody dahil sa sobrang lakas ng pag
Cemetery"M-Ma'am Devi, r-racer ho ba kayo?" lakas loob na tanong ni Cody kay Devi.Devi glanced at Cody while lazily driving. "At bakit natanong mo?""Kasi may idol akong Racer. Napanood ko lang siya noon. 2 years ago. Napakagaling niya, Ma'am. Her driving moves and techniques are similar to you, Ma'am Devi. Pero, baka talaga may pagkakatulad lang. Basta, Ma'am, napakagaling niya sa Car Racing competitions.""Oh, really?" Devi said nonchalantly.Tumango si Cody. "Ang mas nakakatuwa ma'am kasi isa siyang babae. She was so cool and a very professional racer. Ang pagkakaalam ko, iilang competition na rin ang napanalunan niya. Pero pagkatapos ng sinalihan niyang car racing 2 years ago sa Rio City noon, hindi na siya naglaro muli.""So, do you know her?"Umiling ito. "No. The mark as the number one racer is a very confidential person. Hindi siya ang tipong nagpapasikat. She was low-key. Kaya mas lalong maintriga sa kanya ang mga fans and supporters niya. At isa na ako doon."Devi just list
Breakfast2 Weeks LaterDevi and Hugo are still in the Ivanov Mansion. Hugo's grandparents are still with them. Gustong gusto na ni Hugo ang bumalik sa Villa nila at masolo si Devi but his grandparents and parents didn't allow them as long as his grandparents were there."Grandma, Grandpa, kailan ang balik niyo province?" Hugo asks them while they are having breakfast.Helga and Victor frowned upon hearing it.Victor put down the newspaper that she was reading. And Helga stopped eating."Are you trying to send us out?" Victor asks narrowing his eyes."You brat, at balak mo talaga kaming pauwiin na?" Helga said throwing Hugo a deadly look."I'm just asking. My wife feels bored staying here at the mansion." Hugo uses Devi dahil malakas ang asawa niya sa mga ito. They really adored Devi since there is no woman in the Ivanov family."Si Devi o ikaw?" Helga sneered.Harvey smirks. Alam niyang uwing-uwi na ang anak niya sa Villa nito kasama si Devi.Hugo pursed his lips and silently ate his
PinnedAt the parking lot. Hugo and Devi were hand in hand walking in their car. Agad lumabas ang driver ng kotse at binuksan ang backseat. Malapit na sila sa kotse ng biglang huminto si Devi sa paglalakad."What happened?" Hugo asked frowning."Honey, I'm tired of walking. My ankle is hurting." Devi said, complaining.Hugo smirks.Devi slowly raised her arms. "Carry me, Mr. Ivanov, please?" she cutely said.Hugo nodded. "Of course, my clingy wife," Hugo whispered and carried Devi into his arms.Devi instantly hooked her arms around her husband's neck and leaned into his arms. "Thank you, hubby. I love you."Hugo was pleased.After he placed Devi in the car. Isasara na sana niya ang pinto. But Devi pulled him inside the car. Hugo has no choice but to get inside dahil si Devi na ang umusod papasok.When the driver got inside the car, he immediately pulled down the partition of the car.Devi instantly moves and snuggles into her husband's arms."Are you drunk?" Hugo asks her.Devi shook
Old CoupleDevi was satisfied with her husband's kiss. Her eyes sparkled again while learning Hugo's broad chest. Tumingala siya rito at ngumiti. She reached the corner of his lips and wiped the red taint with her thumb. Hugo let her do it while embracing her waist.The powerful couple is showing affection to each other while Emma is still in front of them.Emma couldn't take it anymore; she avoided staring at them while walking in the background with her heart aching.Ang hindi nila alam ay ang mga paparazzi na sikretong kinukuhanan ang mag-asawa ng mga larawan. May kuha rin habang nandoon si Emma. Ang paghahalikan rin ng mag-asawa ay kuhang kuha sa kamera."Are you tired? You want to go home now?" masuyong tanong ni Hugo kay Devi.Devi nodded. "Yeah. But, everyone is still here even your family. How can we go home just like that?" Devi said and yawned.Hugo smirks and kisses her forehead. "Come on, ako ang bahala."Devi nodded. "Okay."Hugo gently drags Devi, but before they can reac
Intense KissWhile Esmeralda corner Devi, Emma also corners Hugo. Iyon yung oras na susundan na ni Hugo si Devi sa comfort room dahil sa bahagya nang nagtatagal si Devi at hindi pa bumabalik.He was afraid, dahil baka maulit ang nangyari sa nakaraang malaking party na naganap at napuruhan si Devi sa nagtangkang umatake kay Xillin. He can't afford seeing Devi injured again.Paliko na si Hugo ng lumapit sa kanya si Emma na may bitbit na dalawang baso ng alak."Can I have this toast with you?" Emma said and then handed him a glass of wine.Hugo frowned slightly."Don't tell me aayawan mo ako?" Emma was daring, iyon ay dahil bahagya na siyang nakakainom ng alak."Yes. I will refuse it." Hugo said with a serious gaze.Emma smirks. "Oh, why? Dahil ba sa babae na ipinalit mo sa akin?""Yes, because I will drive home and my wife is with me. Her safety is my top priority." Sagot ni Hugo ng diretso rito. Wala siyang pakialam sa mararamdaman nito."Do you love her?""Of course, I do," Hugo said.
RetaliationEsmeralda was trying to talk to Hugo but she ended up with Devi. Sinundan niya ito ng tumungo ito papuntang banyo. Itinaon niya na hindi nito kasama si Hugo. She was alone.Pagkatapos ni Devi gunamit ng banyo ay naghugas siya ng kamay. Naramdaman niyang may isang ginang sa kabilang sink. It was Esmeralda Turner. Pinakilala ito sa kanya kanina ng kanyang mother-in-law. Hindi ito pinansin ni Devi ngunit naramdaman niyang sa kanya ito nakasulyap ng mariin at may galit."So, ikaw ang babae ngayon sa buhay ni Hugo?" Esmeralda said, she sounds serious.Devi reached a hand tissue to dry her hands saka humarap sa ginang. "No. I'm not just his woman. I am his wife." Taas noong sinabi rito ni Devi.Esmeralda narrowed her eyes and didn't say any other words."Um, excuse me, ma'am," Devi said and was about to excuse herself."Don't go. Let me ask you some questions first." Esmeralda stops Devi from going out.Devi stopped. Naramdaman niyang may tao sa pinto at hindi pumasok ng tuluyan.
Apprentice"Oh, hey grandma...""You brat, bakit hindi mo man lang pinapakilala sa amin ang babae na kanina mo pa binubuntutan!" The old woman said in a frown.Hugo pressed his forehead. "Honey, I forgot to introduce you to our grandparents. Come, let me introduce you to them." Hinila ng bahagya ni Hugo si Devi palapit sa isang pares na matanda na kasalukuyang nakaupo sa vip table. "Grandma, Grandpa... This is Devine Miller Ivanov, my wife. Honey, this is my Grandma Helga Ivanov, and Grandpa Victor Ivanov." Hugo introduces Devi to his grandparents.Devi smiled at the old couple. Lumapit siya rito at nagbigay galang sa pamamagitan ng pag-mano at halik sa pisngi ng dalawang matanda.The old couple felt satisfied and also smiled warmly at Devi."Hija, are you pregnant?""Grandma..." Hugo instantly cut his grandma."What? I'm just asking her, brat! Kailan mo pa kami balak bigyan ng apo sa tuhod?" Helga said narrowing her eyes at Hugo."Yeah, grandson. Your grandma is right. Kailan n'yo pa

They immediately turned down the endorsement.Yna wanted to accept one endorsement, which is the toothpaste, and also food products. She has a beautiful smile and an innocent, gentle face that fits the endorsement.Alice, which is very shy and serious. She instantly refused the beauty products because she has a lot of work in the Miller Company. Cod
Six Expensive Princesses"Honey, go back to your chair," Devi whispered to Hugo."I don't want to go back in our supposed chair. You know me very well," he said when Hugo was still accompanying her.Devi smirks. "Of course, I know."Nakita ni Devi ang paglabas ni Yanzy, Xillin, Sarina, Alice, and Yna. Ang pinakahuli naman ay ang godmother niyang si Sitti.Everyone shouted at Sitti's name when she was finally with them. Tumungo ito sa tabi ng unahan ni Devi at Hugo. They move forward and then humbly bow to finish their show. Nakisabay na rin si Hugo. He had no choice, he didn't want to leave Devi's side at bumalik sa tabi ni Emma."Well... well, the catwalk is finally over. Let's give Sitti's Masterpiece a round of applause..." Sigaw ng emcee ng malakas.Pumalakpak naman ang lahat kasabay ng paglapit ng emcee sa gawi ni Sitti at ng mga naggagandahang modelo nito."Hello, Ms. Sitti... Welcome to Kana City." The Emcee greeted her and excitedly kissed her cheeks as she handed a microphone
Hugo's P.D.A"Let me help my wife..."The emcee was in awe while widening her eyes. The audience also parted their lips with awe."You— your wife... Your wife, Mr. Ivanov?"Hugo nodded. "Yes, my wife.""S—sure Mr. Ivanov, you can help your wife fix her sandals." The Emcee stammered while gazing at Hugo's domineering aura.Hugo gently gazed at Devi and then kneeled with his left knee, and he slowly fixed Devi's loose hook sandals.Pigil ang hininga at humahanga ang halos lahat ng audience habang nakatitig sa dalawa. The words of Hugo lvanov 'my wife', still don't process on their minds. At nasundan pa ng pagluhod nito sa harapan ng magandang modela.Hugo is like a Prince kneeling to help his Princess.Devi's eyes were gently staring at him while her left hand rested on Hugo's shoulder and her left hand held up her long gown.Both of them are very beautiful, indeed a perfect couple.After Hugo fixed the hook of her sandal, he stayed kneeling, and what he did next amazed the whole audienc
